Aufführung der 3. Symphonie in Winterthur (*).

[Möglicherweise lautet die richtige Datierung »27.2.1907«, wofür auch spräche, daß alle anderen hier erfaßten Winterthurer Konzerte an einem Mittwoch stattfanden]

Die Meldung in The Sun vom 19.12.1907, dass nach dem Konzert des Boston Symphony Orchestra [9. Symphonie am 7.11.1907] ein an Anton Bruckner gerichtetes lobendes Schreiben an der Carnegie Hall abgegeben wurde, erscheint auch im Nashville Tennessean Nr. 229 (Nashville, Tennessee) auf S. 5:

"LETTER REMAINS UNCALLED FOR.

    A letter addressed to Anton Bruckner, the Austrian composer, who died some years ago, is unclaimed at Carnegie Hall. The performance of one of Bruckner's symphonies by the Boston Symphony Orchestra was not received with any noticeable signs of delight by the public, while the critics had little to say in its favor. One small voice of praise was herd [sic], however. So a clipping bureau inclosed it in an envelope addressed to Anton Bruckner, Carnegie Hall, with a promise to keep him supplied with all similar clippings if he subscribed to the bureau.–New York Sun." (**).

Nahezu identisch schreibt The Los Angeles Record Nr. 9185 auf S. 2:

"LETTER REMAINS UNCALLED FOR.

     NEW YORK, Dec. 27.–A letter addressed to Anton Bruckner, the Austrian composer, who died some years ago, is unclaimed at Carnegie hall. The performance of one of Bruckner's symphonies by the Boston Symphony orchestra was not received with any noticeable signs of delight by the public, while the critics had little to say in its favor. One small voice of praise was heard, however. So a clipping bureau cut out this commendatory criticism and inclosed it in an envelope addressed to Anton Bruckner, Carnegie hall, with a promise to keep him supplied with all similar clippings if he subscribed to the bureau." (***).

So auch im Harrisburg Star-Independent Nr. 20 (Harrisburg Daily Independent, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania) auf S. 6:

"     A letter addressed [... identischer Text ...]." (°).
